Just reviewed the budget and the expected reductions in the public service. Expecting a lot of it to happen in the NCR, I wonder how that will affect residential development in Ottawa and Gatineau.

I'm hoping it's not as drastic as we think. Looks like the cuts are over 3 years and they expect the vast majority of those cuts to be done by attrition and early retirement.

The unions were expecting 77,000 cuts so by no means this that bad.

It will have little impact what will have a big impact is the defense sector.

30% of the Federal work force is over 50 out of that 25k are over 65.Point is the Feds will have no issue people wanting to retire if anything we could see to many wanting out.
Hoping the investments in defense, security and research will offset the job loses.

Walked by today and this 16-unit infill project has started construction just behind the site where Whispers Pub is. But no sign yet that Whispers or the neighbouring buildings are being demolished to make way for the 9 storey building.
